NEW YORK. Jan. ga fire broke out
this afternoon ON the Cromwell Line pier
No. 9, North river, and in less than an
hour the whole structure and its
contents were destroyed. The steam
ers of this line ply between
New ofk and New Orleans. When the
engines summoned by the three alarms of
lire got to the scene the whole pier was
one mass of flames. The fire was first
seen in stack of cotton bales in the center
of the dock, and the rapidity
with which the flames spread
barely gave the dock hands time to escape.
The horses attached to the trucks were OH
the dock at the time, and it was supposed
that some Of them had been burned. Along
side the pier lay the steamer Louisiana. which
was just ready to sail, and OIL her deck were
passengers waving their adieus to the
friends on shore. On the other side of the
dock was the steamer New Orleans.
Both vessels were towed out to
midstream. The passengers on the
LOUISIANA were taken off by police officers on
the dock who were protecting the non union
workmen. The vessels upper joiner works
were in flames While the passengers
were being passed down the
side. The Louisiana was lowed
out into the stream and the flames ey-
tinguished. She will be ready to sail as
soon as the repairs are completed. There
were 1000 bales of cotton for Liver,
pool piled upon the dock, besides a
quantity Of other freight ready
tor shipment. Many bales OF cotton and
barrels OF sugar were rolled off the dock
before the fire reached them. In short
time it was seen that the pier could not be
saved and a portion of the fire depart
ment lent their efforts to save the
adjoining piers. The Long Branch pier
caught fire several times, owing to the
flames being carried that way by the wind.
Pier 10 on the north side escaped with a
scorching to its paint and so did the houses
On West street opposite the docks About
twenty streams of water were playing
on the fire ten minutes after it broke out
from engines and tire boats on the river
1t was reported that the ire was started by
strikers, but the police deny this The
police estimate the damage all told at
about $50, 600, fully insured. The cause of
the fire is not known.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Jan. 29.-In the case
of May Foster, accused Of the murder of
her roommate, Jessie Carter, nearly a year

peculiar one. The two women kept house

standing in the middle of the floor in an
apparently daZed condition. The wounded
statement rather charged the shooting upon

real murderer and that he chlorofomed the
women before the killing. 1t was this
phase of the defense which seems TO have

Mrs. Davis can be seen on the streets of ST.

companied by the governors aged mother,

Davis is the Ideal of perfect womanhood, and

she will reign in society as woman of great

The Gregory Mine Trouble.

HELENA. Mont. Jan. 29.-There is
nothing new in the Gregory affair to-day
except that the money to pay off the men
went out by express last night T. II.
KIenschmidt. cashier Of the First National
bank, Seligman's banking place, says
he sent out a big pile of money to
Gregory last night, but will not give the
exact amount. Being hard pressed he said
it was half hundred-presumablyS $50, 900.
He likewise stated that he thought all the
wages due would be paid. General
Manager 4 hid went out to Greg
cry this morning to attend to
its distribution. Telephone communication
with Gregory is cut off by a heavy snow
storm, but nothing new has TRANSFERRED at
the camp. The men possessed themselves
in patience and have probably ere now re-
ceived their wages. One thing is certain
the Seligmans, of New York, telegraphed
to the First National bank here to

compass the liberation of Albert Seligman
That a large amount of money has been
sent from here to Gregory is beyond doubt
The works are still closed down. and prob

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 29.-The Journal
DeSt. Petersburg, commenting on the atti-
tude Of Great Britain with respect to for
eign affairs as revealed by the proceedings
at the opening of parliament, says
it could not expect from the
Marquis of Salisbury any sounder
or more equitable view of Russia's
intentions than that which he condescended
to make in the house of lords on Thursday.
Lord Randolph Churchilrs statement, the
Journal says. would enable Russia
TOD form an opinion concerning
Lord Salisbury's answering pacific
policy. Referring to Bulgaria, the Journal
says it is impossible for Russia to treat with
the regency. The negotiations between
Russia and the porte may, however. the
paper thinks, result in an arrange
mcnt based on Russia's programme for
the formation Of government in Bulgaria
with which Russia can treat In any case,
the fact that Russia has entered into these
negotiations relieves her of responsibility
for the consequences of prolongation of
the anarchy in Bulgaria.
